LTC Properties, Inc., a health care real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was incorporated on May 12, 1992 in the State of Maryland and commenced operations on August 25, 1992. We invest primarily in seniors housing and health care properties primarily through sale-leasebacks, mortgage financing, joint ventures and structured finance solutions including preferred equity and mezzanine lending. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we began utilizing the structure authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (Commonly referred to as “RIDEA”) as permitted by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. We conduct and manage our business asone operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting and internal decision-making purposes. Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing centers (“SNF”), assisted living communities (“ALF”), independent living communities (“ILF”), memory care communities (“MC”) and combinations thereof. We also invest in other (“OTH”) types of properties, such as land parcels, projects under development (“UDP”) and behavioral health care hospitals. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property classification and form of investment.
We have prepared consolidated financial statements included herein without audit and in the opinion of management have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations governing the presentation of interim financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Our company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, we generally are not taxed on income that is distributed to our stockholders.
Under RIDEA, a REIT may lease a "qualified healthcare property" on an arm's-length basis to a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") and generally the rent received from the TRS will be treated as “rents from real property.” A "qualified healthcare property" includes real property and any personal property that is, or is necessary or incidental to the use of, a hospital, nursing facility, assisted living facility, congregate care facility, qualified continuing care facility, or other licensed facility which extends medical or nursing or ancillary services to patients. Resident level rents and related operating expenses for these facilities will be reported in our consolidated financial statements and will be subject to federal and state income taxes as the operations of such facilities are included in TRS entities.
| 2. | Real Estate Investments |
Assisted living communities, independent living communities, memory care communities and combinations thereof are included in the assisted living property classification (collectively “ALF”).
Any reference to the number of properties or facilities, number of units, number of beds, number of operators and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Owned Properties. Our owned properties are leased pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases. Each lease is a triple net lease which requires the lessee to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, capital and non-capital expenditures and other costs necessary in the operations of the facilities. Many of the leases contain renewal options. The majority of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year.

| (1) | We own properties in 23 states that are leased to 22 different operators. |
| (2) | Includes three parcels of land held-for-use, and one behavioral health care hospital. |
Many of our existing leases contain renewal options that, if exercised, could result in the amount of rent payable upon renewal being greater or less than that currently being paid.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, a master lease coveringtwo skilled nursing centers in Tennessee that was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2025, was amended extending the maturity to December 31, 2026. Additionally, the master lease purchase option window, which expired on December 31, 2024, was extended for another year to December 31, 2025. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we terminatedtwo existing leases with the same operator, and combined them into a single master lease. The new master lease has afive-year term withone 1-year extension option andfour 5-year extension options. Annual cash rent is $2,547,000 for the first lease year escalating by 2% annually thereafter. In connection with the termination of these leases, we wrote-off straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances of $243,000 and $249,000, respectively.
Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we terminated our Anthem Memory Care, LLC (“Anthem”) triple-net master leases and transitioned the 12 memory care communities covered under the master leases into our new seniors housing operating portfolio (“SHOP”) under the RIDEA structure. In anticipation of this event, we wrote-off Anthem’s working capital note of $2,693,000 and the related interest receivable of $371,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
We monitor the collectability of our receivable balances, including deferred rent receivable balances, on an ongoing basis. We write-off uncollectible operator receivable balances, including straight- line rent receivable and lease incentives balances, as a reduction to rental income in the period such balances are no longer probable of being collected. Therefore, recognition of rental income is limited to the lesser of the amount of cash collected or rental income reflected on a “straight-line” basis for those customer receivable balances deemed uncollectible. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we wrote-off straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances of $243,000 and $249,000, respectively, in connection with the termination oftwo existing leases with the same operator, and combining them into a master lease as discussed above. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we wrote-off lease incentive balance of $191,000, as a result of property sales.
We continue to take into account the current financial condition of our operators in our estimation of uncollectible accounts at March 31, 2025. We are closely monitoring the collectability of such rents and will adjust future estimations as appropriate as further information becomes known.

| (1) | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we engaged a broker to sell seven SNFs under a master lease, following the operator’s election not to exercise the renewal option available under the master lease. The master lease covers SNFs in California (1), Florida (2) and Virginia (4) and matures in January 2026. At March 31, 2025, these centers met the criteria under GAAP as held-for-sale. The operator is obligated to pay rent on the portfolio through maturity and is current on rent obligations through May 2025. |
| (2) | This community was sold during the first quarter of 2025. Upon sale, the community was removed from a master lease covering five ALFs in Oklahoma and rent under the master lease was not reduced as a result of the sale. |
Intangible Assets. We make estimates as part of our allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions to various components of acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. In determining fair value, we use current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value. The most significant components of our allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings, and for certain of our acquisitions, in-place leases and other intangible assets. In the case of the value of in-place leases, we make the best estimates based on the evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The following is a summary of the carrying amount of intangible assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024*(in thousands)*:

| (3) | We recognized additional loss due to additional incurred costs related to properties sold during 2023. |
Financing Receivables. As part of our acquisitions, we may invest in sale and leaseback transactions. In accordance with the accounting guidance, we must determine whether each sale and leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale. Generally, an option for the seller-lessee to repurchase a real estate asset precludes accounting for the transfer of the asset as a sale and the purchased assets should be presented as financing receivables.
We have entered into joint venture agreements and contributed into these JVs for the purchase of properties through sale and leaseback transactions. Concurrently, each of these JVs leased the purchased properties back to an affiliate of the seller and provided the seller-lessee with purchase options. Accordingly, these sale and leaseback transactions meet the accounting criteria to be presented as financing receivables. Furthermore, we determined that we exercise power over and receive benefits from each of these joint ventures. Therefore, we consolidated the joint ventures asFinancing Receivables on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets and recorded the rental revenue from these joint ventures asInterest income from financing receivables on ourConsolidated Statements of Income.

| (1) | Excludes the impact of the credit loss reserve. |
| (2) | Some loans contain certain guarantees and provide for certain facility fees. |
| (3) | Our mortgage loans are secured by properties located in four states with six borrowers. Additionally, during 2024, we committed to fund a $26,120 mortgage loan for the construction of a 116-unit ILF, ALF and MC located in Illinois. The borrower contributed $12,300 of equity which will initially fund the construction. Once all of the borrower’s equity has been drawn, we will begin funding the commitment. The loan term is approximately six years at a current rate of 9.0% and an IRR of 9.5%. |
| (4) | Minimum interest payable is based on an annual current pay interest rate of 8.5% on the outstanding loan balance. The difference between the contractual interest rate and the current pay interest rate of 8.5% on the outstanding loan balance remains an obligation of the borrower and is payable through the application of security deposits held by LTC on behalf of the borrower or payable upon maturity. During the 2025 first quarter, we received full contractual cash interest of $4,991, through $3,826 of cash receipts and application of $1,165 of security deposits. The loan provides for 2.25% annual interest rate increases. |
| (5) | Mortgage loans provide for 2.25% annual increases in the interest rate. |

| (1) | Funding relates to a $19,500 mortgage loan commitment for the construction of an 85-unit ALF and MC in Michigan. The borrower contributed $12,100 of equity upon origination in July 2023, which was used to initially fund the construction. Our remaining commitment is $4,828. The interest-only loan term is approximately three years at a rate of 8.75%, and includes two one-year extensions, each of which is contingent on certain coverage thresholds. |
| (2) | We funded the following: |
| (a) | $2,940 under our $19,500 mortgage loan commitment. For an explanation of the terms and other relevant information related to this mortgage loan, see (1) above; and |
| (b) | $188 of additional funding under other mortgage loan receivables. |
| 3. | Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures |
We have preferred equity investments in one joint venture and an acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) loan . We determined that each of these JVs meet the accounting criteria to be considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). We are not the primary beneficiary of the JVs as we do not have both: 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the JVs’ economic performance, and 2) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. However, we do have significant influence over the JVs. Therefore, we have accounted for the JVs using the equity method of accounting. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received $15,962,000, including a 13% exit IRR of $2,962,000, from the redemption of our preferred equity investment in a joint venture that owns a 267-unit independent and assisted living community in Washington. The following table provides information regarding our unconsolidated joint venture investments at March 31, 2025*(dollar amounts in thousands):*

| (1) | Represents a $12,700 mortgage loan, which is comprised of $11,164 funded at origination during the three months ended June 30, 2024, an interest reserve of $750 and a capital expenditure reserve of $786. In accordance with GAAP, this mortgage loan was determined to be an ADC loan and is accounted for as an unconsolidated JV. The five-year mortgage loan is interest-only at a current rate of 9.15%. |
| (2) | Our investment represents 15.5% of the total investment. The preferred equity investment earns an initial cash rate of 7% increasing to 9% in year four until the IRR is 8%. After achieving an 8% IRR, the cash rate drops to 8% with an IRR ranging between 12% to 14%, depending upon timing of redemption. We have the option to require the JV partner to purchase our preferred equity interest at any time between August 17, 2031 and December 31, 2036. |

Non-contingent lease incentives represent payments made to our lessees for various reasons including entering into a new lease or lease amendments and extensions. Contingent lease incentives represent potential contingent earn-out payments that may be made to our lessees in the future, as part of our lease agreements. From time to time, we may commit to provide contingent payments to our lessees, upon our properties achieving certain rent coverage ratios. Once the contingent payment becomes probable and estimable, the contingent payment is recorded as a lease incentive. Lease incentives are amortized as a yield adjustment to rental income over the remaining life of the lease.
We apply Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), which requires a forward-looking “expected loss” model, to estimate our loan losses. We determined ourFinancing receivables,Mortgage loans receivable andNotes receivable line items on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets are within the scope of ASC 326.
Financing receivables. We obtained controlling interests in JVs that acquired properties through sale and leaseback transactions. The JVs concurrently leased the purchased properties to affiliates of sellers and provided the sellers-lessees with purchase options. We consolidated the JVs asFinancing receivables on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets. For more information regarding these transactions See Note 2.Real Estate Investments above. At March 31, 2025, we had investments infour JVs accounted for as financing receivables that owned 31 properties inthree states. In addition to owning the properties through our controlling interests in the JVs, generally, these leases provide one or more of the following: security deposits, property tax impounds, repair and maintenance escrows and other credit enhancements such as corporate or personal guarantees or letters of credit.
Mortgage loans. As part of our strategy of making investments in properties used in the provision of long-term health care services, we provided mortgage loan financing on such properties. At March 31, 2025, we hadnine mortgage loans secured by 27 properties infour states withsix borrowers. In addition to a lien on the mortgaged properties, the loans are generally secured by non-real estate assets of the properties and contain certain other security provisions in the form of letters of credit and/or security deposits.
Notes receivable. Our notes receivable consist of mezzanine loans and working capital notes. Security for these notes can include all or a portion of the following credit enhancements: secured second mortgage, pledge of equity interests and personal/corporate guarantees.

We monitor the credit quality of our financial instruments through a variety of methods determined by the underlying collateral or other protective rights, operator’s payment history and other internal metrics. Our monitoring process includes periodic review of financial statements for each facility, scheduled property inspections and review of covenant compliance, industry conditions and current and future economic conditions. The future economic conditions are based on the economic data from the Federal Reserve and reasonable assumptions for the future economic trends.
In determining the “expected” credit loss reserves on these instruments, we utilize the probability of default and discounted cash flow methods. Further, we stress-test the results to reflect the impact of unknown adverse future events including recessions.
The expected credit losses related to our financial instruments that are within the scope of ASC 326 are as follows (in thousands):

We elected not to measure an allowance for expected credit losses on accrued interest receivable under the expected credit loss standard as we have a policy in place to reserve or write off accrued interest receivable in a timely manner through our quarterly review of the loan and property performance. Therefore, we elected the policy to write off accrued interest receivable by recognizing credit loss expense. As of March 31, 2025, the total balance of accrued interest receivable of $61,754,000 was not included in the measurement of expected credit loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we wrote-off Anthem’s interest receivable of $371,000 in connection with the transition to RIDEA as explained in Note 2.Real Estate Investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we didnot recognize any write-off related to accrued interest receivable.
*Unsecured Credit Facility.*Through the first quarter of 2024, we had an unsecured credit agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”) that provided for an aggregate commitment of the lenders of up to $500,000,000 comprising of a $400,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) andtwo $50,000,000 term loans (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans mature on November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026. The Revolving Line of Credit had a maturity date of November 19, 2025 and provided aone-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to accelerate ourone-year extension option notice to January 4, 2024. Concurrently, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date to November 19, 2026. Other material terms of the Original Credit Agreement remained unchanged. The Credit Agreement permitted us to request increases to the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loans commitments up to a total of $1,000,000,000 (the “Accordion”). As permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we exercised $25,000,000 of the available $500,000,000 Accordion feature of the Revolving Line of Credit during the third quarter of 2024. Accordingly, the aggregate commitment of the lenders under the Credit Agreement increased to $525,000,000, with $475,000,000 remaining available under the Accordion. The exercise of the Accordion did not materially change any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement, including its maturity date or covenant requirements.
Based on our leverage at March 31, 2025, the facility provides for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 110 basis points and a facility fee of 15 basis points and the Term Loans provide for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 125 basis points.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements. In connection with entering into the Term Loans described above, we entered intotwo receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swap agreements (the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with maturities of November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026, respectively, that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the Term Loans’ borrowings over their four andfive year terms of the loans. The Interest Rate Swaps are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets at fair value inPrepaid expenses and other assets, with cumulative changes in the fair value of these instruments recognized inAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 we recorded a decrease of $910,000 and an increase of $378,000 in fair value of Interest Rate Swaps, respectively.

*Senior Unsecured Notes.*We have senior unsecured notes held by institutional investors with interest rates ranging from 3.66% to 4.50%. The senior unsecured notes mature between 2026 and 2033.
The senior unsecured notes and the Credit Agreement, including the Revolving Line of Credit and the Term Loans, contain financial covenants, which are measured quarterly, that require us to maintain, among other things:
| ● | a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; |
| ● | a ratio of secured debt to total asset value not greater than 0.35 to 1.0; |
| ● | a ratio of unsecured debt to the value of the unencumbered asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; and |
| ● | a ratio of EBITDA, as calculated in the debt obligation, to fixed charges not less than 1.50 to 1.0. |
At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. These debt obligations also contain additional customary covenants and events of default that are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

*Non-controlling Interests.*We have entered into partnerships to develop and/or own real estate. Given that our limited members do not have the substantive kick-out rights, liquidation rights, or participation rights, we have concluded that the partnerships are VIEs. As we exercise power over and receive benefits from the VIEs, we are considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidate the VIEs and record the non-controlling interests on the consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2025, we have the following consolidated VIEs*(in thousands):*

In 2018, we entered into a JV to develop, purchase and own seniors housing properties. The JV purchased land located in Oregon for the development of a 97-unit assisted living and memory care. Additionally, in a sale-leaseback transaction, the JV purchased an existing operational 89-unit independent living community adjacent to the 97-unit assisted living and memory care community. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we acquired our JV partner’s non-controlling interest for $1,150,000 resulting in us controlling full ownership of these communities. As a result, these VIEs are not listed in the table above.
*Common Stock.*Through part of the fourth quarter of 2024, we had separate equity distribution agreements (collectively, the “Original Equity Distribution Agreements”) to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $200,000,000 in aggregate offering price of shares of our common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we terminated our Original Equity Distribution Agreements and entered into a new equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $400,000,000 in aggregate offering price of shares of our common stock. The Equity Distribution Agreement provides for sales of common shares to be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, which may include block trades, or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold 139,100 shares of common stock for $4,453,000 in net proceeds under our Original Equity Distribution Agreements. In conjunction with the sale of common stock, we incurred $116,000 of costs associated with this agreement which have been recorded in additional paid in capital as a reduction of proceeds received.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold 238,100 shares of common stock for $8,485,000 in net proceeds under our Equity Distribution Agreement. In conjunction with the sale of common stock, we incurred $74,000 of costs associated with this agreement which have been recorded in additional paid in capital as a reduction of proceeds received. At March 31, 2025, we had $381,745,000 available under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we sold 30,400 shares of common stock for $1,072,000 in net proceeds under our Equity Distribution Agreement. Accordingly, subsequent to March 31, 2025, we had $380,659,000 available under the Equity Distribution Agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we acquired 138,010 shares and 49,540 shares, respectively, of common stock held by employees who tendered owned shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
Available Shelf Registration. We have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, and currently have the ability to file additional automatic shelf registration statements, to provide us
with capacity to publicly offer an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time raise capital under our automatic shelf registration statement in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering. Our shelf registration statement expires in November 2027.

Stock-Based Compensation. During 2021, we adopted and our shareholders approved the 2021 Equity Participation Plan (“the 2021 Plan”) which replaces the 2015 Equity Participation Plan (“the 2015 Plan”). Under the 2021 Plan,1,900,000 shares of common stock have been authorized and reserved for awards, lessone share for everyone share that was subject to an award granted under the 2015 Plan after December 31, 2020 and prior to adoption. In addition, any shares that are not issued under outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan because the shares were forfeited or cancelled after December 31, 2020 will be added to and again be available for awards under the 2021 Plan. Under the 2021 Plan, the shares were authorized and reserved for awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan are set by our compensation committee at its discretion. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, we entered into Performance Stock Unit Award Agreements, based upon absolute and relative total shareholder return, under the 2021 Plan.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no stock options were granted or exercised. During the three months ended March 31, 2024,5,000 stock options expired and were cancelled. At March 31, 2025, we hadno stock options outstanding andexercisable.

We are a party from time to time to various general and professional liability claims and lawsuits asserted against the lessees or borrowers of our properties, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate material to our results of operations or financial condition. These types of claims and
lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims.
We havetwo operators that represent 10% or more of our combined rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans. The following table sets forth information regarding our major operators as of March 31, 2025:

| 12. | Fair Value Measurements |
In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. We did not elect the fair value option for any of our financial assets and financial liabilities.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. We do not invest our cash in auction rate securities. The carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|---|
| · · At March 31, 2025 · · At December 31, 2024 · |

|---|
| (1) | Our investment in financing receivables is classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the financing receivables at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 7.7%. |
| (2) | Our investment in mortgage loans receivable is classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the mortgage loans receivable at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 8.9% and 10.0%, respectively. |
| (3) | Our investments in notes receivable are classified as Level 3. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash flows of the notes receivable at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 8.0% and 7.6%, respectively. |
| (4) | Our revolving line of credit and term loans bear interest at a variable interest rate. The estimated fair value of our revolving line of credit and term loans approximated their carrying values at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 upon prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements. |
| (5) | Our obligation under our senior unsecured notes is classified as Level 3 and thus the fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is measured based upon management’s estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us, and instruments of comparable maturities. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 6.25% for those maturing before year 2030 and 6.5% for those maturing at or beyond year 2030. |
We use the management approach in determining the reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance as the source for determining our reportable segments. In making this determination, we:
| ii. | identify and analyze our potential business components; |
| iii. | identify our operating segments; and |
| iv. | determine whether there are multiple operating segments requiring presentation as separate reportable segments. |
During the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the CODM has been collectively identified as our Executive Chairman and Co-Presidents, who share the responsibility for allocating resources and assessing segment performance.
Our CODM evaluates the performance of our investments based onNet income attributable to LTC Properties, Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we operated underone reportable segment. For more information seeSegment Information within Note 2.Real Estate Investments above.
